Hi
I have created two droplets, one for react app, which I had deployed successfully.
Now I want to deploy node app on another droplet using subdomain concept, as My react droplet is already using domain name with floating ip attached.

Heya,
Deploying a Node.js app on a subdomain is a great idea, and you can follow these steps:
-
Create an A Record for your subdomain in your domain management system (DNS), pointing it to your second droplet’s IP address.
-
In the second droplet, install Nginx to serve as a reverse proxy for your Node.js app. You can follow the steps here: How To Install Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04.
-
Configure Nginx to proxy requests to your Node.js app running on the second droplet by adding a new server block for your subdomain. You can check out this tutorial on setting up a reverse proxy: How To Set Up a Node.js Application for Production on Ubuntu 20.04.
-
Restart Nginx to apply the configuration changes.
-
Ensure your Node.js app is running on the second droplet, and it should now be accessible via the subdomain.
Hope that this helps!
